Review request for mesos, Jason Lai and Jie Yu.
Bugs: MESOS-8830
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-8830
Repository: mesos
Description
-------
In various corner cases, agent may not get chance to properly unmount
persistent volumes mounted inside an executor's sandbox. When GC later
gets to these sandbox directories, permanent data loss can happen (see
MESOS-8830).
This patch added some protection to unmount possible persistent
volumes inside a path to gc, and skipped the path if unmount failed.
NOTE: this means agent will not garbage collect any path if it cannot
read its own `mountinfo` table.

Testing
-------
Tested with following procedures:
1. Start a test master and agent;
2. Created a persistent volume on agent through operator API;
3. Use `mesos-execute` to run a task;
4. Stop the agent;
5. Manually bind mount persistent volume path into a `volume` directory inside
the executor sandbox (to simulate a dangling mount in MESOS-8830);
6. Restart agent with `--gc_disk_headroom=1.0 --gc_delay=1secs` to force it gc
the path immediately.
With this fix, we observed that the dangling mount is automatically cleaned up,
and agent produces log line:
